Chapter 52: First Date
After taking a few deep breaths, Chen Ge slapped his face with cold water, and it took a long time before he calmed down.
"It's time to go."
Chen Ge took out the backpack he used last time, put Zhang Ya's love letter, power bank, and tool hammer into it, he learned the lesson of the last time, directly stuffed the fruit knife into his pants pocket, and put the rag doll left for him by his parents into his pocket.
It doesn't look pretty, but at least it reassures him.
After cleaning up, Chen Ge locked the door of the haunted house and hurriedly ran out of the paradise.
It was 12:15 a.m., there were few cars on the road, and he waited another ten minutes before he stopped a taxi at the intersection.
"Go to the vicinity of Xicheng Private School, I'm in a hurry, please hurry up."
"Cheng, let's get in the car" The driver is a very cheerful uncle, and there are DJs in the car that were popular a few years ago.
The car started, Chen Ge sat in the back seat, and seized the time to start searching the Internet for information related to this mission.
As soon as the favorability task was opened, the first thing that came to mind was Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Red Dancing Shoes", he found the original version of this story on the Internet, read it roughly, and felt that this fairy tale was a bit crazy.
The story is mainly about a girl who got a pair of beautiful red dancing shoes, she often wore them to church, probably because of the blasphemy of the gods, her dancing shoes could no longer be removed, she could only keep dancing, she was afraid, helpless, exhausted, and finally begged the woodcutter to cut off her legs, and then the highest power of the whole fairy tale appeared, the severed legs, wearing red dancing shoes and running away......
"Is this a fairy tale?" Chen Ge didn't dare to imagine that picture in his mind, his task tonight was to find Zhang Ya's red dancing shoes.
"When I drew the cursed love letter, there was a description of Zhang Ya in the black phone, she was wearing a blood-stained school uniform and a pair of red dancing shoes, and she was still dressed like this when she was dying, is the fairy tale of red dancing shoes true? Once you put it on, you can't take it off? ”
Chen Ge's heart was a little panicked, this mission was different from the past, he had to face a red-clothed ghost with an exclusive page, which was the treatment only the deepest and most ferocious ghosts had in their hearts.
"It seems that the red shoes are the key tonight." Chen Ge has read the fairy tale several times, and its main purpose is to warn people not to love vanity, and to always remain humble and in awe: "What is the meaning of bringing out this fairy tale at the beginning of the mission? ”
He couldn't figure it out for a while, so he simply exited the page and began to search for things related to Xicheng Private School again.
The school was closed after only two and a half years and has been abandoned for a long time.
As for the reason for the closure, there are various rumors on the Internet, some say that it is because the fees are unreasonable, and some say that it is because the documents are incomplete.
Chen Ge patiently read all the information, and the name Zhang Ya never appeared from beginning to end, as if Zhang Ya had nothing to do with this school.
"There's a problem! The truth is definitely not those speculations on the Internet, there may be something deeper. Chen Ge looked at the receding street lamps outside the window, his eyes narrowed: "What kind of encounter can make a woman turn into a ghost in red?" Where did her resentment come from? What does this have to do with red dancing shoes? ”
Chen Ge was pondering alone, the DJ in the car suddenly became louder, and when he looked at the main driver's seat in astonishment, the driver's uncle was also looking at him through the reflector.
"What's upset? is young and sad. "Uncle belongs to the kind of chatter, and he chatted with Chen Ge as soon as he got in the car, but Chen Ge didn't pay much attention to him because he wanted to search for information.
"Recently, I've come across a lot of things that I've never been exposed to, so I'm a little too busy." Chen Ge smiled politely and put away his phone.
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, everything will definitely be fine, I'm bored, listen to the song, shake it and it's over." The driver's uncle shook his legs to the beat of the music, this person had a good mentality, and he insisted on staying up late to drive a taxi to do a midnight drive: "By the way, what are you doing running to Xicheng private school at night?" The place is very deserted, and there doesn't seem to be any residential area around. ”
Chen Ge opened his mouth, and finally said, "Go on a date." ”
"Dating? Running out on a date at this point in time? The uncle glanced back at Chen Ge.
"Really, I don't know how to tell you, the woman's temper is not very good, and her personality is a little weird......" Chen Ge tried his best to say that it was normal, for a man who has never dated, being invited on a date by a beautiful woman should still be a very face-saving thing.
"That's a good thing! What is there to worry about, afraid that people will not like you? But also, how can anyone dress like you to go on a date? Let me tell you, men have to learn to dress up, you see your backpack, it is completely inconsistent with your temperament. ”
The driver's uncle is like a cannon, saying that Chen Ge is quite helpless, people are happy and full of expectations on a date, but his date is more subtle. It's not so much a date as a self-help in a semi-coerced situation to stay alive.
"Men must not be stingy in dating, to be gentlemen, don't come up to WeChat, listen to the opinions of other girls, in their eyes the most incorrigible disease in the world is straight male cancer, the first impression is very important......"
Listening to the driver's uncle's earnest teaching, Chen Ge really wanted to change the DJ in his taxi to "Wedding Dress", so that everyone could calm down.
As the road progressed, there were fewer and fewer cars and buildings on both sides, the roads narrowed, and the street lights gradually disappeared.
The scene outside the car window became more and more desolate and sparsely populated, and trees began to appear on both sides of the road.
"Do you want to go on? There's nothing around but a school, are you mistaking? Uncle Driver looked at the navigation and finally changed the subject.
"No, just find a place to park near the school, how much does it cost?"
"Nineteen, pay with your mobile phone, I just picked up the night shift bus, and I don't have change."
"Okay."
Chen Ge went to take out his mobile phone, and accidentally brought out the fruit knife in his pocket, and the folded knife fell on the cushion, and the driver's uncle in the driver's seat jumped to the heart.
The DJ in the car slowly became quieter, and the driver's uncle pretended to raise his hand, and when he picked up the water bottle next to him, his finger secretly touched a button on the mobile phone.
Chen Ge saw these small actions in his eyes, he had a wry smile on his face, and the other party probably regarded him as a bad guy who carjacked.
"Payment successful." Chen Ge raised his mobile phone and glanced at the main driver's seat again: "Uncle, are you recording, are you going to call the police?" ”
The driver's uncle, who was drinking water, was almost choked, he coughed violently a few times and waved his hand again and again.
"Actually, I can understand you, but ......" Chen Ge looked at the strange outline of the school outside the window: "I did come on a date." ”
